Title: MtGox is down
Post by: MoonShadow on March 03, 2011, 07:50:39 AM
Looks like MtGox's server got pwned.  Here's hoping that he did regular backups!

He's moving to a new server. Hopefully, it's a host that accept bitcoin as payment.

The new server appears to be fully functional. You just need to add the new IP 174.121.74.59 to your hosts file until your favorite DNS provider refreshes.

Looks like it's with the same provider just a new IP - http://dnshistory.org/domainhistory/a/mtgox.com. (all of those IPs are at theplanet).

All I get is a page that says "No data here" when I go to that address.

I'd imagine there's something set up so that GETs to the IP address fail. Simply follow the instructions and add the IP address to your hosts file. I tried just now before and after updating /etc/hosts; failed before, worked after.

Ok, yeah, it works.  I don't like messing with the hosts file because I've forgotten in the past that I made changes to it and then couldn't figure out why I couldn't reach a site by name because it moved.

Many sites nowadays require that your browser send the correct "host" header ("Host: mtgox.com") so multiple sites can be hosted on one IP address. This is why you often need to put the name in the hosts file.

Does it show no data for you in the MegaChart section?
